What would happen to Mr. Instant offense if he was starting (or at least getting significantly more minutes)? Say 25 mins on up...
POS - score points, Huge energy boost
NEG - Defense? Maturity

I wonder if he would be getting "whatever he wanted" since he shoots at a decent clip (almost impossible to cover him) and often.

Crawford is shooting at 37%, 34 mins. While Nate is at 46% in 21 mins. He is just plain more efficient. Ok, there are other stats (but I'm at max frustration with Crawfords play this year.) If Crawford was playing like last year, he wins, right now I would take Nates Mental instability over Crawfords shot selection. Sounds crazy but I know what I'm getting with Nate (Never thought I'd say that) and with Crawford it's just bad bad shot selection. Nate is a kid, Crawford a Vet...

Would his bumbling plays become less if he had more of a role?

Jamal's overall #'s as a starter are far better than what he's averaging off the bench.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Nate can play basketball, but he can't think.

More stats perhaps, but more bone head moves.

Nate should consider a career on the Globetrotters.

We need to get rid of Nate -- the guy's got talent, heart, and fan appeal but he's a nutcase and a chucker. If he could get us Luke Ridnour or Chris Duhon I'd do it in a second. Otherwise, package him with Curry and get the best package available.
